Eat and dance at the senior center

December 09, 2015Senior Center

If you’ve been reading my prior articles, you know I have emphasized both physical and mental health and how we provide activities here at the Osage County Senior Center to promote well being. Well, we have a fantastic opportunity coming up at the center from 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, that you will not want to miss! We have the Kings of Swing band playing the music from the 30s, 40s, and 50s era that evening after an early dinner of smoked pulled pork, beans and all the fixings. So you are officially invited to come. All you need to do is purchase a ticket or make reservations for $7 per person to come and eat and dance, or you can purchase a ticket for just the dance for $5 at the door. It is a great bargain and guaranteed to be fun and invigorating. Wear your dancing shoes!

Worried about how you will get here? No worries, we will provide bus service for a suggested donation of $5, and will pick you up at your door and bring you home with a bus reservation. For more information, contact the senior center at 785-528-4906 or stop by at 604 Market St., Osage City.

The Kansas State Historical Society denoted today, Nov. 21, 2018, that it was on this day in 1855 free-stater Charles Dow was shot and killed by pro-slavery Franklin Coleman in a land dispute. This started the Wakarusa War, which lasted about two weeks until a treaty was signed on Dec. 8. In Wendi Bevitt's latest Hidden History of Osage County, she tells us more about a Civil War veteran, buried at Oak Hill Cemetery at Quenemo, who was in the middle of the Wakarusa War from start to finish. The skirmish between free staters and a pro slavery army marked the beginning of a turbulent time in Kansas history and was a pretext to the nation’s civil war.-----Read more here:www.osagecountyonline.com/archives/31491...
